Note 27 Share-based payments
The Group has not taken advantage of the transitional provisions of IFRS 2 ‘Share-based payment’ in respect of equity-settled awards but instead
applied IFRS 2 retrospectively to all awards granted, but not vested, as at 28 February 2004.
The total Group Income Statement charge for the year recognised in respect of share-based payments is £242m (2008 – £228m), which is made up of
share option schemes and share bonus payments. Of this amount £204m (2008 – £199m) will be equity-settled and £38m (2008 – £29m) cash-settled.
a) Share option schemes
The Company had nine share option schemes in operation during the year, all of which are equity-settled schemes:
i) The Savings-related Share Option Scheme (1981) permits the grant to employees of options in respect of ordinary shares linked to a building
society/bank save-as-you-earn contract for a term of three or five years with contributions from employees of an amount between £5 and £250
per four-weekly period. Options are capable of being exercised at the end of the three or five-year period at a subscription price not less than
80% of the average of the middle-market quotations of an ordinary share over the three dealing days immediately preceding the offer date.
ii) The Irish Savings-related Share Option Scheme (2000) permits the grant to Irish employees of options in respect of ordinary shares linked to a
building society/bank save-as-you-earn contract for a term of three or five years with contributions from employees of an amount between €12
and €320 per four-weekly period. Options are capable of being exercised at the end of the three or five-year period at a subscription price not less
than 80% of the average of the middle-market quotations of an ordinary share over the three dealing days immediately preceding the offer date.
iii) The Approved Executive Share Option Scheme (1994) was adopted on 17 October 1994. The exercise of options granted under this scheme will
normally be conditional upon the achievement of a specified performance target related to the growth in earnings per share over a three-year
period. No further options will be granted under this scheme and it has been replaced by the Discretionary Share Option Plan (2004). There were
no discounted options granted under this scheme.
iv) The Unapproved Executive Share Option Scheme (1996) was adopted on 7 June 1996. The exercise of options granted under this scheme will
normally be conditional upon the achievement of a specified performance target related to the growth in earnings per share over a three-year period.
No further options will be granted under this scheme and it has been replaced by the Discretionary Share Option Plan (2004). There were no
discounted options granted under this scheme.
v) The International Executive Share Option Scheme (1994) was adopted on 20 May 1994. This scheme permits the grant to selected non-UK
executives of options to acquire ordinary shares on substantially the same basis as their UK counterparts. The exercise of options granted under
this scheme will normally be conditional on the achievement of a specified performance target related to the growth in earnings per share over
a three-year period. No further options will be granted under this scheme and it has been replaced by the Discretionary Share Option Plan (2004).
There were no discounted options granted under this scheme.
vi) The Executive Incentive Plan (2004) was adopted on 5 July 2004. This scheme permits the grant of options in respect of ordinary shares to selected
executives. Options are normally exercisable between three and ten years from the date of grant for nil consideration.
vii) The Performance Share Plan (2004) was adopted on 5 July 2004 and amended on 29 June 2007. This scheme permits the grant of options in
respect of ordinary shares to selected executives. Options granted before 29 June 2007 are normally exercisable between four and ten years from
the date of grant for nil consideration. Options granted after 29 June 2007 are normally exercisable between three and ten years from the date of
grant for nil consideration. The exercise of options will normally be conditional on the achievement of specified performance targets related to the
return on capital employed over a three-year period.
viii) The Discretionary Share Option Plan (2004) was adopted on 5 July 2004. This scheme permits the grant of approved, unapproved and international
options in respect of ordinary shares to selected executives. Options are normally exercisable between three and ten years from the date of grant
at a price not less than the middle-market quotation or average middle-market quotations of an ordinary share for the dealing day or three dealing
days preceding the date of grant. The exercise of options will normally be conditional on the achievement of a specified performance target related
to the annual percentage growth in earnings per share over a three-year period. There will be no discounted options granted under this scheme.
ix) The Group New Business Incentive Plan (2007) was adopted on 29 June 2007. This scheme permits the grant of options in respect of ordinary
shares to selected executives. Options will normally vest in four tranches: four, five, six and seven years after the date of grant and will be exercisable
for up to two years from the vesting dates for nil consideration. The exercise of options will normally be conditional on the achievement of specified
performance targets related to the return on capital employed over the seven-year plan.
